If you're a fan of Sharon's Sorbet and you haven't checked the labels in a while, you may be surprised to learn that several of the fruit-flavored sorbets -- which used to have 70 - 90 calories per half-cup serving -- now have 80 - 130 calories. According to the folks at Sharon's, they reformulated their sorbets months ago to make them sweeter and to improve the texture... thus the extra calories. But we also learned they're planning to reformulate AGAIN very soon, making the switch from corn syrup to brown rice syrup -- and they suspect calorie counts may go back down a bit! We'll keep you updated.


***Hey, Starbucks morning visitors! The Bucks wants you back so badly, they'll give you a deal by offering you a $2 beverage after 2PM! Just show up with a receipt from that AM, and you can get any Grande iced drink for just two bucks! Woohoo!

***Speaking of coffee, did you know that drinking a caffeinated beverage after a workout could help refuel your muscles? It's true, according to recent research. Go here to read more about how ingesting caffeine with your carbs could help your muscles after exercise - http://www.newstrackindia.com/newsdetails/4715

***OOOH, did you know that we're SNACK, er, SMACK in the middle of moving to brand-new groovy HG offices? It's true! And some of our favorite food peeps have decided to join in on the excitement and nourish us while we transport our items to our new home. So what's keeping us energized and full? South Beach Livi ng bars, Kim's Light Bagels, Lightfull smoothies, and Pizza Fit 'n Free. Yum! More info, pics of the new place, and special offers from those sponsors coming soon. Woohoo! That's all we've got. HG out!
